Critically acclaimed for a "rich, natural sound that's larger and more complex than the sum of its parts" (NPR), and as "singers of superb musicianship and vocal allure" (The New Yorker), New York Polyphony is one of the foremost vocal chamber ensembles active today. Their innovative programming spans Gregorian chant to contemporary commissions, and their Westport performance draws on repertoire from their recently-released album "Sky of My Heart" with music spanning the 12th to 21st centuries.

Acclaimed folk-rock trio The Sweet Remains return to touring in support of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Embers—a mesmerizing collection of ten new songs that showcase their signature acoustic-driven, three-part harmonies. Produced by longtime collaborator and Grammy-winner Andy Zulla, the album features standout tracks like When The World Slowed Down, You Say, Don’t Count Me Out, and the title track Ember.

On our annual Family Day, we invite families to explore our collections and buildings with storytelling and art-making activities for all ages. Enjoy learning more about the art right here in New Haven.

Free and open to the public.

Always Looking explores the work of photographer Titus Brooks Heagins and the challenging questions his photos pose about the systemic neglect of society’s most vulnerable communities of color. Humanizing yet confrontational, Titus’ photographs document the overlooked: people who, through some intersection of poverty, race or gender/sexual identity, exist as outsiders.

This film dives into Titus’ world, shedding light on the strength it takes to be a marginalized Black photographer capturing the lives of other marginalized folks.

Join us for an in-depth conversation with film maker Olympia Stone and artist Titus Brooks Heagins following the film.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Fee: $10 for Members/Non-Members. Registration is required.

An illustrated talk by architectural historian Wes Haynes

Celebrating 250 years of progression and evolution, this captivating presentation tells the story of Stamford through architectural form, from aqueducts to bridges, factories to lighthouses, commercial properties, and stately residential homes.

“Independence sparked Stamford’s 250 year transformation from an isolated rural colony into today’s vibrant city, says Wes Haynes. “Today this story hides in plain sight in the places where we live, work and play.” In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Haynes has planned a virtual tour of the existing buildings, structures, and monuments, and the stories of the people and forces - immigration, industries, and technological innovations - that shaped our city over that time.
